Great work Rich The community.apache.org site has a specific question on this in the Newbie FAQ (http://community.apache.org/newbiefaq.html) which just points to the wiki currently. I have made an edit that points to the newly published document but I don't have write permissions to publish the updated site through the CMS.
If someone with appropriate karma could review (and tweak if necessary) my changes and publish them that would be much appreciated Thanks, Rob On 18/11/2014 14:53, "Rich Bowen" <rbo...@rcbowen.com> wrote: >As many of you are no doubt aware, we have had on our website, for at >least 8 years, and, I think probably much longer, "Code of conduct, >coming soon!"
